The Perth CBD has restricted access today due to the start of the Land Forces Exhibition at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. The expo anticipates attendance by nearly 1000 organizations from 60 countries over four days, leading to significant security measures including police presence and traffic advisories on Mounts Bay Road and surrounding areas. Special powers have been granted to law enforcement following past protests in Melbourne, with a dozen individuals barred from the event this year; however, organizers are expecting a peaceful counter-protest march later today.

Story summary
The Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre has closed parts of the city's central business district ahead of the Land Forces Exhibition opening on Wednesday. The expo, expected to draw thousands of visitors including nearly 1000 organizations from over 60 countries, will run until Thursday. Commuters have been advised of delays on Mounts Bay Road and parking closures throughout the event.
A heavy police presence is already noticeable outside the venue, and officers are empowered with special powers to maintain order after violent protests occurred during a similar event in Melbourne two years ago. Security measures include barring around 12 individuals from approaching the Perth site. Additionally, a peaceful anti-war protest is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, starting at Yagan Square and ending at Elizabeth Quay.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
